Deathraker

Ok, so I'm sure everyone has heard this one before, I can't absorb the souls from dead dragons, even ones who haven't respawned (i.e random encounters, dragon nests I ahven't done before). I have a few mods running, if someone could just point me in the right direction and spare me hours of strip searching all my mods. If there's a way of fixing this without losing mods, that's nice too! ^.^ Thanks in advance! :) For the benefit of anyone willing to help, here's my load order: GameMode=Skyrim Skyrim.esm=1Update.esm=1Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp=1Dawnguard.esm=1Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp=1Dragonborn.esm=1Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp=1ApachiiHair.esm=1moonpath.esm=1JSwords.esm=1SPIKE.esm=1ORS_SolitudeGate.esm=1Falskaar.esm=1MidasSkyrim.esp=1Black lightened Alchemy.esp=1Unlimited_Rings.esp=1Immersive Weapons.esp=1EMCompViljaSkyrim.esp=1BreezehomeEnchantingTable.esp=1Craftable Arrows.esp=1Light Ebony Mail v1_1.esp=1Breezehome1stwing.esp=1BarenziahQuestMarkers.esp=1ShoutCD.esp=1FasterArrows.esp=1FasterArrows50.esp=1FasterArrows75.esp=1FasterArrows100.esp=1isilNarsil.esp=1geralt_ravenarmor_v02b.esp=1AllWarPaintRaces.esp=1Auto Unequip Arrows.esp=1Auto Unequip Helmet.esp=1Crimson Tide - Blood.esp=1LOTR Shield Pack.esp=1DivinePunishmentForArrowsToTheKnee.esp=1Apocalypse - The Spell Package.esp=1DragonSoulsToPerks.esp=1Killable Children.esp=1Killable Children - Quest Important Protected.esp=1EmpoweredMagic.esp=1ACE BYOG.esp=1The Dance of Death.esp=1Cloaks.esp=1hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp=1MasterTheTimeAndSpaceTOGGLE.esp=1DeadlySpellImpacts.esp=1DeadlySpellImpacts - Two Fire.esp=1Enchanting Freedom.esp=1UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp=1XCES.esp=1Improved Dragon Shouts.esp=1DragonFire.esp=1ValsCraftingMeltdownAlpha.esp=1smash locks and more.esp=1ArchmageRing00.esp=1ArchmageRing75.esp=1Shadow Remover.esp=1DK_Armor_By_Hothtrooper44.esp=1vDynamicDifficulty.esp=1Hideout.esm=1Animated Enchantments.esp=1DF127CaranthirTowerMod.esp=1Murder_InfernalArmory.esp=1Skyrim School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.esp=1ERSO 03 - Mighty Dragons.esp=1ERSO 03.3 - Mighty Dawnguard Dragons.esp=1ERSO 03.4 - Mighty Dragonborn Dragons.esp=1ERSO 03.5 - New Dragon Loots.esp=1ERSO 04 - Mighty Odahviing.esp=1ERSO 04.2 - Mighty Durnehviir.esp=1ERSO 05 - Dovah Holy Book.esp=1ERSO 07 - Slighty Mighty Dragon Priests.esp=1ERSO 09 - Vendor Trainer Quest-giver protected USKP.esp=1SkyUI.esp=1BoundArmors.esp=1Teleport.esp=1Convenient Horses.esp=1sheogorath_shout.esp=1ethereal_elven_overhaul.esp=1Insanity's Daedric Sword.esp=1moonpath_questdata.esp=1Better Vampires ML.esp=1BloodskalBladeRevamp.esp=1chfshImbuedSword.esp=1DragonCombatOverhaulDragonborn.esp=1

So, here's my problem: I've just completed Blood on the Ice (the murderer quest in Windhelm) and now, whenever I try to fast travel, and after random but short amounts of time, my game will CTD. No error message, no nothing. I have confirmed that it is SOMETHING to do with this quest and not my game/load order/settings etc because I have loaded saves to before completing the quest (during the quest in fact) and there are no problems with fast travel or CTDs. The only thing at all that I can find wrong with the quest is that it gives me 2 "Blood on the Ice" completed messages when I talk to the steward "whatever his name is" and then all the problems and CTDs and everything starts. Does anyone have any ideas at all? Thanks. (I can go through not doing this quest, but I'm a completionist type person so I'd quite like to fix this)

Right, I'm trying to do thieve's guild missions, and for some reason I'm just NOT getting the special job for solitude. I've done all the other jobs and this is the only one left. And yes, I've done lots and lots..... and lots...... and lots of extra work for the guild in ALL holds. I've tried console codes etc. Is there a way I can force the quest to start another way? If I need to start a new game to do it, could someone tell me? I've checked previous topics and nothing from it works for me.

Ok, every time I travel to the Pale Imperial camp, there is a dragon there. First time, there was a pair of dragons, now every time I go there there's one. What is going on? Any help? Why is it always here? Thanks in advance.

I'm using the Nexus Mod Manager and it works fine, but I kind of want to get rid of the files it has backed up (i.e the archives from all the mods) because I really don't have that much space to spare on my computer for various reasons. Is there a setting I can toggle on it, or can I do it manually. I tried deleting the whole folder but it seemed to think I had uninstalled some mods, so I had to restore all the files. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Yeah, sorry guys, I was multi-tasking and got distracted. Stupid of me I know. :(

Yeah... I know there is no way to go with both the Greybeards and the Blades, but shouldn't there be a conversation option that makes the Blades get over it? 'm assuming the creation kit would be required to make a mod to do something about this. Am i right? is it even possible?

Normal black dragons are a pushover for a guy in dwarf armour with a spell in one hand and a sword in the other. Blood dragons not so much. But non-dragon monsters are more scary than dragons. I shouldn't be more scared of a snow sabre tooth cat because it can kill me in 2 hits and a dragon can't. Rebalancing may be required. Dragons don't feel like the boss fights they should. Although you only get different dragons after a certain point in the main quest, otherwise you only ever find the basic one.

Please delete this comment. double posted by accident. sorry.

Is there a way to turn up the number of finishing moves you do. I've killed loads of dragons so far and not a single finishing move on a single one. I think that dragon fights are big enough to HAVE to finish with some awesome move like ramming a sword through the dragons head etc. Edit: YES! I finally got a finishing move. I jumped up and rammed a sword into its head repeatedly. Are the chances of finishing moves increased if an enemy is staggered?

I would love this to happen. If anyone's seen (Movie spoilers ahead) Underworld then someone could take ideas from that. The hybrids in that are pretty cool. I think if you need to become vampire first, someone should make a minor dungeon where it's easier to become a vampire, because i have found very very few and i'm level 21. Just as another point, would the beast form use werewolf finishing moves. It could do.

I think that FO3 and NV just have a problem with nVidia cards. I don't know if there's a fix for it. I've read it in a few place. That might be the problem...

If you are using FOMM you can choose to start the game without NVSE (the option is in one of the menus at the top, you know... file...etc. you'll know once you see it)

try setting you game to use only 2 cores, insteaed of all 4. the engine for NV has a problem with this this is how you do it. (back up the files first): 1.Go to My Documents/FalloutNewVegas 2.Open FALLOUT.ini 3.Find and change bUseThreadedAI=0 to bUseThreadedAI=1 (use the find function to make this easier and faster) 4.Directly underneath add iNumHWThreads=2 (this line does not already exist so you have to actually add it in) 5.Save the file

If you still have problems, which I don't think you should after this, then just google: New Vegas constant freezes and look at the official blog, forums etc. and work your way through the solutions until you find one that works. The fix above worked for my FO3 game ages ago.

Are you using an nVidia graphis card? Or try running on fewer processors. I had similar problems with FO3

I had a problem like this too. Mine was a save file corruption so I had to reload a save before the damage happened. Try reloading some older saves to see if the problem persists.

Save your game. Quit. Disable all mods (inc. DLCs) so you just have vanilla. Then put the DLCs back in and see what happens from there. Try only disabling honest hearts to see if it really IS the problem. That's all I can think of short of re-installing, but I'm afraid this will only diagnose it, not fix it. Sorry, but it's all the help I can come up with.

Well, sorry but I'm all out of Ideas. Unless there are NPCs which are added to those areas and cause it. Try disabling all mods, and then going to the CTD areas. That will say if it's from a mod or not.

If any of those change the propector saloon interior, and some of them clash, then that could cause your CTD. I'm not familiar with a lot of them. Just find any mods that could alter the area you're experiencing CTDs and systematically disable them and see if it still CTDs. Its slow, it's boring, but it might help fix it. If this doesn't help, sorry, but from (a small amount of) experience, it could be what's wrong.

Nope, doesn't work. Just comes up with the same "blah blah blah.... will not work in some areas of the mojave".

Ahh... whoops. typing in wrong window, Apologies.

try re-downloading the textures and meshes for the brush gun. If that doesn't work then try and get the vanilla textures and meshes back. (i don't know if replacer mods delete the original textures or not)

Try messing around with the fade settings. That's all I can think of, but it might just work.

I downloaded and activated COTEF 2 (a very good mod for New Vegas), not really minding the side effect that it disabled all fast travel in my game. It was not until I had completed it that I realised that I had a glitch disabling all fast travel incl. big mountain teleporter. To fix the fast travel problem, i disabled the mod and entered enablefasttravel 1. This, however, did not fix the big mountain teleporter. I COULD load a save before activating the mod, but the most recent one is 3 hours before activating, and several more hours before my current status. Is there a way with the GECK that I can fix this problem. is there any way?
